 John Smith killed q snake, Thanksgiy- ing day.
 Fanny, the faithful chestnut mare which T. A. Mallett drove for nearly 30 years, was killed, Thanksgiving day. Although it suffered no pain, old age had so weak ened it that death was deemed relief.
 As a great deal is said at this time about mind and faith cures, 1t may be worth the time spent for the general pub lie to look a little into the matter for themselves, As the bright day star of Hope cheers the rugged way, so will an undoubting Faith hzing the consummat- ion; while Charity, greatest of these, will let them respect the conviction of their fellows, even though 1t conflict with their ,,.'- n,ain inn Ts tho matter is carefuilY case of recovery from sickness but faith was the most important factor. The mo- ment the physician comes, before even the first dose of medicine has been given, many times a decided improvement can be seen. The suffering patient, burning with fever, Facked with pain, becomes qui- ct. Tossing about in doubt and fear, his confidence and faith in the doctor acts with potent power and he feels better the moment he is sent for. A few doses of bread pills administered at regular inter- vals not one minute less or more than the stated time, would soon effect cure, with ,he doctors daily attendance. Has faith anyt hing to do with it? Perhaps there was nothing the matter after all; but the doc- tor got in his work just the same. It may not be out of place to refer to an article in the BEE, in which the writer mentions the inherent absurdity of the mind and faith cure in the case of a broken limb or re- moving tumor. but it seems possible that : even in the cases cited it would be equally eficacious with the despised drugs. whose ? aid is fortunately invoked when the
 death shadows darken. That powerful drugs often may have hastened the com ing of the death shadows eanot be doubt. ed. but that broken limb has been reset or tumor removed,by drngs alone, would require wonderful degree of faith to : credit But faith cures are nothing new
 In almost every instance recorded of the 7 wonderful miracles of Jesus, an unwayer. , ing faith was manifested. The leper said r "Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean" The centurion said, Speak tAe word only and my servant shall be heal
 ed;" no hesitating doubt in eiths7 ease To the woman who came behind him and

 shall be impossible unto you" So, whils | the various schools of medicine have eacl their own peculiar methods of treatment g and, under each the vital spark often goes . out, sometimes Ieviyes. let all remembel Hope. Faith and Charity. "But the great Q est of these is Charity" H. N. AYres and family have moved F from Bridgeport and occupy their new
